"Baker Skateboards, and the outlets that sell this shirt, should be aware that use of the term 'g**k' on their apparel is offensive and quite simply amounts to racism for sale. No one should seek to profit from racism.”

"We hope to see it withdrawn in the very near future. It promotes racial stereotypes and it is unacceptable."

Denis Fernando of One Society Many Cultures added: "Derogatory terms and lampooning accents will cause offense to the communities they target. Other communities have had to campaign hard to stop the N word and P word being used casually in popular culture. We do not see this any differently."

Requests for comment from Baker Skateboards are as yet unanswered.

The New Oxford Dictionary of English defines the term as: Offensive, chiefly US, a foreigner, especially a person of SE Asian descent.

Do you think the shirts are profiting from racism or are simply tasteless? Let us know in the comments section below.
